Three-year-old twins have tragically been killed in a house fire.

Aisha and Lailani were pronounced dead at the scene after firefighters scrambled to Batlow, Australia.

Heartbroken mum, Tankya Ford, and her son, five, made it out but watched on in horror as firefighters worked on the blaze.

The twins were pulled out, but were unable to be revived.

Superintendent, Bob Noble, said the family must be going through an "unimaginable" time.

He told “Obviously it's a particularly horrific incident, the lives of two young girls having been lost, the family and so forth, friends of the family are quite rightly distraught as are neighbours.

“The mother of the two deceased children is distraught, there was another young child present at that time, and you can only imagine what they're going through.

“It's just devastatingly sad that two young lives have been snuffed out like that.”

Neighbour, Col Anderson, added: “Three years old, it's the start of their life you know, when you think what could be in store for them."

Their uncle, Levi Ford, has set up a GoFundMe page to provide the mum and brother with "clothes, food and other things".

He said: “My sister tragically lost her three-year-old twin daughters in a house fire, which claimed not only the lives of these two young children but also their home and belongings.

“Her son has lost all the belongings including toys and clothing …. losing everything is hard enough without having to worry about financials.

“Anything no matter how small would be appreciated.”
